Fire Station II
In October of 2023 Lake County Fire Station II was dedicated and opened to serve the Lake County community.
Friends of Twin Lakes was key in raising $896,984.12 toward Fire Station 2 in southern Lake County.
Thanks to the Energy Impact Assistance Fund through Department of Local Affairs of Colorado for the $655,086 grant, Climax Community Fund through Freeport McMoran Foundation for a $50,000 grant; and individuals and businesses who contributed $52,000 for construction to Friends of Twin Lakes.
Friends of Twin Lakes also has raised another $135,898.12 in cash–that includes the LCCF and LT 100 grants, but not the Lowe’s card donations, to be used for fixtures, finish and furnishing, and equipment to enhance capabilities from donations, grants and gift cards (thanks for those donations from our donors and the following grantors: LT100 Leadville Legacy Foundation, Lowes ($3000 in gift cards) and Lake County Community Fund).
